306 Barbecue

Love it. Wonderful place. Great Food. Fair Price. Awesome Staff.

The bbq pork platter was SO delicious! We chose the cole slaw and potato salad which really made the meal even better. The tap beer made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend 306! You can't go wrong!

Tasty Ribs

Always good

Wings were dry and they got our order wrong. Bad food for $75

2.5 out of 5 but I can't bring myself to round up. I made a special trip to 306 after work just to try the bbq. Been hearing about this place for years but it was never super convenient and so a visit never came to fruition. But it wasn't too far out of the way on my drive back from Decatur and 1:30 wasn't quite too late for lunch, and so I came by. The location is kinda nondescript and the parking lot is a little bumpy -- and very hard to turn left out of when you leave, as I learned. But luckily it wasn't crowded so that made things easier. I got a faint smoke smell on my walk inside but not enough to instill a ton of confidence. It's fairly spacious inside and the restaurant, including the women's bathroom, looked clean. There was a faint smell that reminded me of, like, a hardware store though, especially in the hallway by the bathroom. I've certainly smelled worse and it wasn't concerning but just kinda odd. Anyway, I placed my order at the counter for a loaded pork potato, which is my go-to when feeling out a bbq place for the first time. The girl at the register was extra friendly and bubbly and patient with me, so I appreciated that. The self-serve sweet tea I got was fine, and another employee brought my potato to me at the booth where I sat. It was a large potato, and it looked good, but I didn't particularly enjoy it. The topping ratio was good, but the pork was okay at best -- not fatty or gristley, at least, but pretty dry and not very flavorful or smokey. Even that would've been okay, but unfortunately a cardinal bbq potato sin was committed: the potato was unevenly cooked. My biggest pet peeve in all of bbq potato-land is an uneven/underdone potato. It is so frustrating to be enjoying hot, steamy, buttery soft goodness and then be interrupted abruptly by a crunchy, watery, dense chunk of potato. I hate it so much - it triggers a visceral yuck feeling in me that makes me insane! After a lot of poking around fork-testing doneness, I made the most of my meal and pitched what remained. What a huge bummer! One other thing that bears mentioning is that the whole time I was eating, I could hear several staff members loudly complaining about and bad-mouthing a fellow employee who wasn't present. I get it, honestly, and I'm far from above some occasional gossip, but this conversation went on almost the entire time I was eating and it didn't give the best vibe ever. Unfortunately, this is not the new barbeque hookup for me. On the bright side, I can consider my curiosity sated.

Great first time experience. Tried the pulled pork sandwich (which came with slaw & pickles on top) w/ baked beans & potato salad. The sides tasted good and fresh. The Alabama white sauce they have is very good, I found it to actually be better then the red BBQ (which I don't usually put Alabama white over red BBQ but their Alabama white was very delicious) The banana pudding was also very good. Only complaint I guess I could find is I wish the sandwich was just a tad larger & I wish they would've added more of that slaw on top. Next time I come I will be trying that Loaded baked potato &/or those smoked wings.

Best BBQ in town. Their squash casserole was amazing. Go give them a try. You will not be disappointed.
